Although I seem to struggle with SU Bowl games, I'm in and like the 50, plow.

Here is something interesting that I thought of but have never seen.
You have your pick vs spread contests
and pick straight up ,which I hate because so often you are forced to
take a favorite when you would prefer to take the dog if you could get some points.
The risk vs reward is not there to pick dogs.

So I thought what if each team were assigned a point value that closely resembled the money line odds,
For example

Say 2 teams are a pickem . You could take either side and score 1 point.
Say Team A is a 4 to 1 favorite. You could take Team A and score .25 points or go with team B and score 1 if they win.

This sounds cool. I think I like it. What lines would you use with picks being due by the first game? Opening I take it...

I would take the money lines at Pinnacle since they seem to be most accurate, pick a number halfway between the +,-
(for example -200,+170 I would make -185)
So the easiest way to score this would be take the favorite and win $100 in points or take the dog and win $185 in points.

What was the twist you were referring to JOH?

sides & totals. 4 choices for each game.

Already spent quite a bit of time setting up this format. You guys have some interesting ideas. Maybe we could use to set something up for College Basketball.

Im in and don't really care how you set it up. I just enjoy being in a contest that you guys provide. I will have t o send cash to whomever when it comes to the 50 dollar entry fee. I don't have ******, but how easy is it to set up an account?
